THE QUEEN OF ENGLAND.
WHAT FOUR FAMOUS WOMEN
THINK OF VICTORIA.

Five Their Impressions Of Her
Majesty.

The Mail and Express OF New York
prints the following articles from the pens
OF four famous women;
The high tide OF Jubilee glorifcation
having ebbcd and lett very flat sands, So
cial and commercial, we mark in certain
English circles signs OF WEAKNESS and re-
action. We hear the grand national fcte,
with all its Queen worship and tribute
paying, spoken of as "a craze and "a
boom" OF loyalty and royalty, and the
claims of the dear, dciiied old lady, Vic
toria, II. and l., TO such stupendous
honors and muniiicent offerings disputed,
and her very human impcrfections dis
cussed freely and with apparent gusto.
That those impericctions are phases Of
qualities and principles once considered
admirable in the young sovereign, these
disaiiccted subjects do not deny, but de
clare that it is just the Queens oyer-ripc
Alews which are souring on the stomuchs
OF her people; that tile laudablc
economy OF her youth has, in age, become
niggardly %ayaricc, and her affections,
dOting indulgence and selfish iavoritisn.
Even her wiicly devotion-tha ''most OK
cellent thing in Il woman'-and her sacred
sorrow, are grumblcd at us cntailing a
morbid scclusion, damaging 10 trade and
depressing to society, AZ turning her life
into q royal progress rom memorial TO
mausoleum, and regal Windsor into q
house Of mourning, in which mortuary
observanccs, rigid regulations, tircsomc
routine and unmitigatod propricty, render
court life flat and frigid, solemn and SOM
nolent.
All, it is the gay prince these people
want in the sad widows place, and, per-
haps, naturally. They say her majesty Is
Obstinate and seli-willed. Well, she IL the
granddaughter and living image OF George
Ill. They say she Is proud and greedy OF
pompous titles. Naturally, again. Pride
70 grows by what il feeds on Born in the
purplest purple-nurtured in aduliation-
Victoria has been, and is the object OF lit
tie less than divine homage. II il told of
Dickens that in his youth lac almost went
mad from contemplating the fair young
girl thronod above all mortal creatures,
and i own that my sober republican brain
grows n little dizzy in thinking OF her SIT
premc exultation, rs il docs in watching
some acrobatic queen, pcrched on her
highest trapezc and smiling down on gap
ing thousands. Only the EmprcsS-Qucen
performs for the world, and smiles, when
she docs smile, on uncounted millions, il
lifted 80 far above earth that one could al
most imagine her, were her avoirdupois u
little less, Selling on the horn OF the noon
and swinging out over the universe.
Happily she inherited the Guelphic stolid-
ity and plentiful lack OF imagination yet,
l hold IL lisa marvel OF, through all these
fifty years, she has kept her head "lcycl, y
her heart sound, and her soul in q state Of
gracc-and it is said she has.

Wallace Register, 2
A few days since, Register Beard, of the
Wa-Keeney land Office, received instruc-
ions to come to Wallace for the purpose
of viewing the Fort Wallace military
reservation, and making report of facts
as they exist to the land department at
Washington. He was here last week in
compliance with such order, and spent
several hours here, and in looking over
the buildings at the fort, &c. He was
the guest of Mr.. 81. A. Clark while in
in town. We know nothing of what Mr..
Beard will report, but we feel assured
he will say nothing that will do Wallace
or the community any harm. The land
of the reservation will soon be surveyed,
plated, advertised and sold. This we
have direct from the department at
Washington. It will be offered in 40
acre tracts and will go to the best bidder.
Due notice of such sale will be given in

John Daily met with a serious misfort-
une on Monday. While at work with his
team and scraper, filling up an old well,
one horse made misstep and fell into
the well drawing the other horse with her.
The first horse slipped out Of the harness
and fell to the bottom, distance of forty
feet. The other was caught in the har-
ness and hung. Both died before any as
sistance could be given. Coming just at
the beginning of spring work, this is a
most serious blow to Mr. Daily.
Two residentsof Banner engaged in a
harmless shooting ARRAY on Saturday
last. The facts seem to be as follows:
Geo. Richards, having once used all his
rights, took second prevention, quar-
ter section near Castle Rock. G. E. Fuller
subsequently took the same land as a
homestead. On Saturday Fuller COM
menced blowing peice which was broken
by Richards last year. Mr.. and Mrs
Richards soon appeared on the scene,
and the latter attempted to drive Fuller
away with club; not succeeding, she
ran to one side, and Richards, with shot
gun, fired at Fuller, who was setting the
pillow wheel. Fuller Strengthened up, and
drawing pistol, shot twice over Rich
ards's head. Mr.. and Mrs. Richards then
hastily retired indoors. With the excep-
ton of peeled nose on the part of Mr.
Fuller, we understand that no one was
hurt.
